Game Central

With its undefeated run at an end, Minnesota United returns to Allianz Field as it looks to get back on track against the Colorado Rapids. The Rapids snagged a win in the reverse fixture at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park back in June, just before the Loons went on a tear in the league and Open Cup. With three consecutive clean sheets at home, MNUFC have made it difficult for visitors recently, while also thumping home lots of goals. The scoring rate has tapered off a bit for the Loons, who are hoping the rest given to the majority of the main starters on Saturday will pay off for this double-game week at home. Both teams have been near the top of the league in terms of goals scored, setting up a back-and-forth contest that could produce a lot of goals.
